Purpose and objectives
COSPAR shall be a Special Committee of the ICSU.
The purpose of COSPAR is to further on an international scale the progress of all kinds of scientific investigations which are carried out with the use of rockets or rocket-propelled vehicles. COSPAR shall be concerned with fundamental research. It will not normally concern itself with such technological problems as propulsion, construction of rockets, guidance and control.
These objectives shall be achieved through the maximum development of space research programs by the international community of scientists working through ICSU and its adhering national academics and unions. Any arrangements involving national territories should be made by bilateral or multilateral discussion between the nations concerned. As a non-political organization, COSPAR shall not, as a matter of policy, recommend any specific assistance of one nation by another. It will, however, welcome information concerning such arrangements and provide a convenient assembly in which such arrangements may informally be proposed and discussed.
